@jamierohu.bsky.social‘Populations’. The ocean isn’t a stock room out the back of a shop.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialWe can leave nothing alone 😑
Note the use of the word ‘stock’ throughout the article. This term seeks to frame wild animals as something for people to simply take, as if they were ours all along.
This is the mindset driving the climate, pollution and biodiversity crises.

@jamierohu.bsky.socialI can’t believe I’m part of the same species that would do this to an innocent animal.
He will be fined and receive the Probation Act like all these monsters do, and basically get off with a slap on the wrists.
Animal cruelty should be punished with a very lengthy jail sentence.
@jamierohu.bsky.social“In response, Galway [University] said its overseas collaborations were established in accordance with legal, ethical and governance requirements”
Nothing ‘ethical’ when the animal being experimented on can’t give consent.
Truly outstanding work by The Journal.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialHandy little website/tool for learning about the 53 raised bog SACs and 75 NHAs spread across the midlands and further south.
Excellent work by Drs Peter Foss and Paddy Crushell, who produced this in their own time.
Well worth bookmarking.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialI’ve never felt so ashamed 😑
@jamierohu.bsky.social‘Ireland to play Israel after 'significant majority' of squad vote to proceed with game’
Absolutely disgraceful 😤
#FreePalestine 🇵🇸 🍉
@jamierohu.bsky.socialAn absolute legend and a total coward👇 I’ll let you work out which is which.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialVery heavy on the PlayStation this issue, which was good. I really enjoyed the articles on Forbidden Siren and Uncharted. Learned a lot.
@jamierohu.bsky.social“For decades the Department of Agriculture has operated as though it were a branch office of the Irish Farmers’ Association, its instincts bent reliably towards the producer and away from the consumer, the environment and the taxpayer.”
Hard to argue with that 😟
@jamierohu.bsky.socialCorrection: Caroline Rowley
@jamierohu.bsky.socialIt can take a long time (sadly), but eventually justice prevails.
Caroline Rooney has played an immeasurable part in this campaign over the years. A formidable and courageous activist.
Hopefully this is the beginning of the end of this barbaric and shameful trade.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialI watched your show on RTÉ Player Eoghan. Absolutely loved it mate. What an incredible habitat. Thanks for minding and promoting it.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialThe impact of climate change is happening far faster than many of us expected 😐
Running nutrition through animals before humans get to it is a massively inefficient system. We’re codding ourselves if we think we can keep this up in perpetuity.
@jamierohu.bsky.socialThe @irishwildlifetrust.bsky.social on the misrepresentation of sharks 🦈 in the media 🤔
@jamierohu.bsky.socialAbsolutely shocking story here 👇
House martins, an amber-listed migratory species, are routinely targeted and vilified for doing what comes naturally to them - making a home to rear their young.
What the estate agent done is illegal. Well done NPWS 👏
